A family-centered event, it encourages active participation for children with various disabilities or limitations. Trick or Treat from car to car, trunk to trunk. Costumes encouraged. Bring your trick or treat bags.

Trunk or Treat is a new spin on Trick or Treating where local businesses and organizations bring a vehicle, decorate its trunk/tailgate and pass out candy as kids “Trunk or Treat” from car to car. Trunk or treating allows kids to have all the trick or treating fun without crossing streets or worrying about traffic. It’s also a great accessibility benefit for those individuals with various disabilities or limitations.

We would like to extend the opportunity to you and your business to participate in this fun event!

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Participation is free! We are asking local businesses, clubs/organizations and families to provide a vehicle trunk/tailgate decorated in a family friendly Halloween/Fall theme, pass out candy/prizes at your trunk and provide enough candy/trinkets/prizes for 400+ trick or treaters. You are welcome, but not required, to promote your business at this event by use of a company vehicle for your “Trunk” as well as hand out goodies promoting your business.

A complete Trunk or Treat registration form is required to participate in this event.

Costumes are encouraged. Dress up in coordination with your trunk’s theme! Prizes will be awarded for 1st place in the following categories: Most Creative, Best Theme, and People’s Choice. If you cannot attend the event but would like to help, we are also seeking donations of candy and prizes as well as prizes for our Trunk or Treat decorating contest.

A complete Trunk or Treat registration form is required to participate in this event. Advance approval required. No onsite sign up allowed. Trunk or Treat participants must provide their goodies to hand out at their trunk/tailgate. Individually wrapped candy, prizes, trinkets and business goodies are all acceptable items.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

This event is focused on participants and families with special needs.

We require all candy to be store bought (no home-made treats), individually wrapped and peanut free.

Be thoughtful in your purchase of goodies and possibly include things that are gluten free and or non-edible treats such as pencils, stickers, stress balls, etc. When choosing decorations for your trunk, we ask that you be aware and considerate of over-stimulating features such as fog machines, loud music and strobe lights.

These types of decorations will not be allowed to ensure enjoyment of all of our attendees. We also ask that any balloon decorations be latex free.
